Re: [Flashcoders] Getting Data into my SWF
In this case, you just manipulate the time on the client side for the user's amusement (if they try to tamper with it, the next call will just reset the values, if it's not time yet). jord -- Jordan L.

Re: [Flashcoders] Getting Data into my SWF
Why would you be relying solely on a user's clock? That is most easily manipulated simply by changing the date and time in their system preferences. No hacking experience required. jord -- Jordan L.

I guess as I am writing this, the script will just check the date and if it is not correct, it can simply not return the coupon. My question revolved around a user manipulating the date passed into the flash application and causing the coupon to show up before the countdown is really up. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Getting Data into my SWF
If I'm getting this straight: You're asking for a date from the server which you're going to pass back for approval to show a coupon on the client side app. Why not just have the server store and send the coupon for the application to use? The client simply makes one call (two at most... but it can be handled in one call, letting the server do all the work - the client is a simple willing participant). No other data is passed back for the client to manipulate. jord -- Jordan L.

My concern was that the date would be intercepted/modified in some fashion, but since the end result is retrieved from the server, the server script will just have a check to make sure the date is right to release it. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Getting Data into my SWF
Unless the client is actually displaying a countdown, it has no need for the data. All the client needs in this case is a polling mechanism to occur on a set interval, whether or not it intends to display any countdown down. No data needs to be pass back to the server. All the client is essentially asking is coupon?. Server either gives a coupon or something else that is of no use for anyone to manipulate. jord -- Jordan L.

So the date is used for the counter and then once the counter reaches zero, the coupon is retrieved from the server and displayed.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons
There are plenty of ways to go about 5 6. You could set it up as an attribute within the XML node where if it sees a video attribute in the attributes property, then pop up a button that will point to your video (if that's what you're trying to do... or are you trying to pop up a button that plays a video - either way, the principle is somewhat the same). jord On 3/8/07, Wendy Marino [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Francis, Thank you very much.
